Manchester City caretaker manager Brian Kidd doesn't expect any moaning from players about their post-season tour of the US.

City's programme is not yet over, with the team flying to the United States for friendlies against Chelsea in St Louis and New York.

Kidd said: "We are very fortunate as footballers - there are a lot of people going to work tomorrow morning wishing they were going to New York and doing what we are doing.

"Football is not work, is it? You are blessed if you are involved in any way, shape or form, in football."
